If your vehicle has been in an accident the alignment of your headlamps should be checked by your authorized Ford dealer. CLEANING AND CARING FOR YOUR VEHICLE Regular care of your vehicle is recommended. The following advice will assist you in maintaining the condition of your vehicle. When using any cleaner or polish, always follow the label directions. Read all warning and caution statements which appear on the label. Maintenance and care Washing your vehicle Wash your vehicle regularly, particularly in coastal areas, or where salt or chemicals are in the air or used on the roads. Use warm or cold water. Tree sap, insects, bird droppings and road grime or tar may be difficult to remove with water alone. Use a mild soap solution or suitable mild detergent for washing, then rinse with clear water immediately. NOTE: Any petrol spilled on the vehicle or deposits such as bird droppings should be washed and sponged off as soon as possible. Deposits not removed promptly can cause damage to the vehicle’s paintwork. Automatic car wash The best procedure is brushless washing in a good car wash installation. In car wash installations operating with high water pressure, water might be forced into the vehicle’s interior. NOTE: Fold back the side view mirrors and lower the radio antenna prior to entering an automatic wash. Washing by hand Rinse with plenty of water if using a car shampoo. Dry the vehicle with a chamois leather. Remember to include regular underbody washing. In areas of heavy concentrations of corrosive materials such as salt, the entire underbody should be thoroughly washed and inspected frequently, particularly after wet seasons. Polishing Your vehicle should be washed and dried before being polished. In areas of industrial fallout, dust, heavy rain, salt air, insects, bird droppings and frequent parking under trees, the addition of a suitable polish or wax is advised. 225 4.6L V8 Engine • Never wash or rinse the engine while it is running; water in the running engine may cause internal damage. Plastic (non-painted) exterior parts Use vinyl cleaners for routine cleaning. Clean with a tar remover, if necessary. Do not clean plastic parts with thinners, solvents or petroleum-based cleaners. Cleaning the windshield, wiper blades and rear window If the wiper blades do not wipe properly, clean the wiper blade rubber element with undiluted windshield washer solution or a mild detergent. To avoid damaging the blades, do not use fuel, kerosene, paint thinner or other solvents. If the wiper still does not wipe properly, this could be caused by substances on the windshield or rear window such as tree sap and some hot wax treatments used by commercial car washes. Clean the outside of the windshield or rear window with a non-abrasive cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleansers on glass as they may cause scratches. The windshield or rear window is clean if beads do not form when you rinse it with water. The windshield, rear window and wiper blades should be cleaned on a regular basis, and blades or rubber elements replaced when worn. 227Repairing paint chips Paint damage from road chippings or minor scratches can be dealt with using touch up paint from the Ford accessory range. Observe the application instructions on the products. Wheel cleaning Wheels are coated with a protective finish. Do not use abrasive cleaners, polishing compounds, solvents or wire brushes that might scratch or damage the finish. Avoid washing the wheels using a high pressure washing device. Cleaning the engine Engines are more efficient when they are clean because grease and dirt buildup keep the engine warmer than normal. When washing: • Take care when using a power washer to clean the engine. The high pressure fluid could penetrate the sealed parts and cause damage. • Do not spray with cold water to avoid cracking the engine block or other engine components. • Cover the highlighted areas to prevent water damage when cleaning the engine.
